The use of videotaping with various purposes and types in the teaching - learning process is an interesting modality in the digital technology era. This article reports on a study that explored the practices of students' group presentation in an EFL classroom using videotaping. Participants in this study were five groups of 23 second-year English study program students with ages ranging from 22 to 35 years. Videotaping is employed to activate students' motivation in a variety of activities in a group presentation. The videotaping was analyzed based on researchers' observation and assessment. At the end of the group presentation, scores from other groups were collected using scoring matrix in which the members of group gave scores based on some criteria on students' group presentation. The results of the study therefore reveal that students were active to express ideas and thoughts in the classroom discussion which ultimately enhanced their language performance. Some benefits of this learning model are even though the lecturer is absent in the classroom, the learning process runs well, and this model becomes alternative solution for lecturers who have management position at the university, and the students' scores are also from the other students in other groups. © 2018 TESOL International Journal.
